Friday Favorites!

Posted on July 28, 2017July 28, 2017 by KSSBelle

T.G.I.F. Friends! I hope your week has been a great one!

I’m really ready for some cooler, crisp Fall days. I cannot wait until Fall arrives! Last night, we talked about heading to the mountains with our littles this weekend to try & escape this heat! We might just do that, and I can’t wait!

Here’s another edition of “Friday Favorites” for you!

ONE

During the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale (And, it’s still going strong!) I ordered these heels, and they are even more gorgeous in person. I loved them so much, I ordered them in two colors, midnight & slate suede. Classic move by me. If I find something I love this much, I always order it in more than one color. No regrets here.

I was at The Fresh Market last night picking up a few things, and I decided to change up my lunch routine. This week I’m making roasted chicken salad lettuce wraps. If you’re short on time, The Fresh Market has THE BEST roasted chicken salad.

For a manicure, I normally wear OPI “bubble bath” all.of.the.time., but lately I’ve wanted a classic red. Either way, essie “5th Avenue” is my next go-to manicure color. What’s your favorite?

Nordstrom Anniversary Sale – Handbag Edit

Posted on July 24, 2017July 24, 2017 by KSSBelle

Hi, Everyone! Did you have a great weekend? We did! My husband was out of town on business for part of the weekend, so I met my parents for dinner with the littles on Friday night, which was really nice to see them. Yesterday, was pretty low key, so we relaxed most of the day. The weekends always fly by too fast. Either way, I hope your Monday is off to a great start so far!

Since the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale is still going strong, I thought I’d write a post on my favorite handbags in the sale. One of my favorite Sole Society handbags sold out (love their stuff, but I’ll let you know if it gets restocked!), but there are still some great bags left in the sale! Handbags can really elevate any look you’re wearing, so here are my favorites.

Happy Shopping!

Madewell Paint Stripe Transport Tote

This tote is so perfect for everyday. It will go with every outfit (even workout clothes). It’s classic, won’t break the bank, and I really like the English Saddle color. It comes in 3 other colors.

Tory Burch Frida Pebbled Leather Tote

I really prefer totes, because they hold everything (#momlife), but it’s more the “structured” look of the tote that I love. It’s definitely a splurge, but a polished one you’ll never get tired of in your closet.

Ted Baker London Crossbody Bag

This is the perfect pop of pink, and a great date night handbag! So cute! It also comes in a neutral grey color as well.

ALLSAINTS Raye Leather Tote

I love this simplicity of this tote. It’s very tailored looking, yet still modern enough for everyday use. It’s casual, but what I’d consider “dressed up casual,” which is more my style.

Tory Burch Frida Stitched Suede Satchel

This suede satchel is absolutely beautiful for Fall/Winter. I love, love, love the port color. It is an investment, but one you won’t regret!

TGIF + Nordstrom Anniversary Sale Picks!

Posted on July 21, 2017 by KSSBelle

Happy Friday, Friends! I know that everyone is excited it’s Friday, and that the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale is now open to all for shopping! YAY!

There are still a TON of cute, classic things in the sale, so I’ve rounded up some more of my favorites for you!

Happy Shopping!

Pleione Pleat Inset French Terry Top

A cute stripe, peplum top? Say no more.

Cece Jada Scallop Shirtdress

This dress looks like a Kate Spade design, but for a fraction of the price. So chic.

Chelsea28 Shoulder Ruffle Shift Dress

This navy dress is so pretty, and flattering. Long sleeve shift, with ruffles? Oh, and did I mention it’s under $100 (during the sale!)?

Vince Camuto Jumpsuit

This is so gorgeous. The “poppy” color is my favorite. It also comes in black.

Halogen Poplin Peplum Top

This peplum top is darling. It’s great to wear now, and for layering in the Fall/Winter.

Gibson Bell Sleeve Fleece Pullover

This sweater comes in several colors, but I love the grey. It would look so cute with jeans and leggings for something more casual. I can see myself wearing this to preschool drop-off, a lot.

Paige Hoxton High Waist Ankle Skinny Jeans

Another classic skinny jean, under $100 (during the sale!).

Hinge Barris Block Heel bootie

This is the first bootie that I actually have fallen for this year. It’s a low heel (which is nice, since I’m 5’10), and the cut is timeless. I see this pair in my future.

Kate Spade New York Watch

This watch is stunning, and the two-tone is perfect. My wedding set is white gold, but I wear my grandmother’s engagement ring which is gold and platinum on my right hand. This watch is a classic in my book.

Tahari Maria Double Face Wool Wrap Coat

This coat is beautiful, and will go with everything you wear. Dress it up or down.

Ted Baker London Wool Blend Wrap Coat

Coats are my weakness. This wrap coat is absolutely stunning, and will be in your closet for years to come.

Tory Burch Frida Leather Satchel

I love, love, LOVE this handbag. It comes in 3 colors, but the blush is calling my name.

PAIGE Transcend Hoxton High Waist undone hem

I keep coming back to these jeans. I really like the staggered raw hem for something different. You can totally dress these up or down depending on where you’re headed.

What have you found in the sale that you love?

Classic Blue + Pink

Posted on July 17, 2017 by KSSBelle

Anyone who really knows me, knows that I love to dress up. Any chance I get to dress up, I’m one happy girl. The majority of my closest is filled with dressier clothes that I’ve collected over the years, and even though I’m a busy Mom, I’m still drawn to the dressier side of my closet, every time. And, that’s why this silk top from J.Crew is the perfect top for me (and you!). It’s lightweight (great for beating the heat), it’s silk, and it dresses up anything you pair it with, just a little bit more. I think the tie neck bow was what really sealed the deal, and it’s one of my favorite parts about this top. It’s incredibly versatile too. You can wear it with cropped pants, jeans, skirts & even shorts.
Now, can we talk about these pink shoes? So much fun, and they’re under $30.00! They come in 3 colors. I would normally wear heels with this outfit, but this slide/mule trend is really stealing my heart these days. A cute flat that you can wear with pretty much anything in your closet. Oh, and I can still take care of our two kids (comfortably) in them as well. A no-brainer in my book.

SHOP THE POST:
J.Crew Stripe Silk Top / Loft Navy Pants (sold out, similar) / Cape Robbin Faux Fur Slides / Sunglasses (sold out, similar) / Kate Spade Handbag (sold out, similar) / Kate Spade Bracelet / Kate Spade Watch (sold out, similar) / J.Crew Bracelets (sold out, similar) / Loft Pearl Earrings (sold out, similar)

Have a happy Monday!

Nordstrom Anniversary Sale – Top Picks

Posted on July 14, 2017July 14, 2017 by KSSBelle

T.G.I.F! I know that everyone’s excited about the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale that’s going on right now for cardholders, so I’ll keep it short & sweet for you!

I picked out what I consider the “classics” from this sale.

Happy Shopping, Friends!

Halogen Button Back Ruffle Hem Dress

This dress is so cute & your classic LBD. Every girl needs a LBD. I love the button back detail for a fun twist, plus, who can turn down a ruffle hem? I know I can’t.

J.Crew Tipped Pajama Shirt

You can’t go wrong with this one. Imagine with jeans, white jeans, cropped black pants & more. Pink tipping? Sold.

Chelsea28 Bell Sleeve Poplin Top

Another bell sleeve blouse that can be dressed up or down. Love the layered bell look.

DL1961 Florence Skinny Jeans

I have a pair of DL1961 Maternity jeans & loved them (The Emma Jean, for anyone currently expecting). When I was expecting our second, I wore them almost every single day, literally. This brand is amazing & worth every penny. They don’t stretch out, and you can’t beat the price. Under $100 for a classic, skinny jean.

Halogen Soft Ruffle Jacket

This jacket is adorable & under $100 right now (during the sale). I bought the smoke pink color. I really like a bright pastel coat during the colder months. If pink isn’t your thing, it also comes in a grey color. The ruffle/peplum waist, mixed with the tie waist is such a modern take on two classics. Well done.

Halogen Tweed Jacket

This jacket looks like one J.Crew had last year, for a fraction of the price. You can wear this with jeans, dresses, skirts & more. The options are endless. I believe there is a matching skirt to it, if you work in a more traditional office.

Halogen Cashmere Off The Shoulder Sweater

This would be a really cute sweater for date nights. Love carrying the off the shoulder trend into the winter months, and it looks really cozy. It comes in 3 other colors.

Halogen Wool & Cashmere Poncho

This poncho is a game changer for anyone, especially a busy Mom getting everyone else ready for work/school in the mornings. You want to look polished, but are short on time? This is your ticket. Throw this on over a basic tee with your favorite jeans, grab your handbag, and go! Perfect for football games/tailgating, too. Dress it up or down.

Halogen Square Silk Scarf

Cannot say enough great things about the silk scarf. I’ve been wearing them since I was in college. You can wear it as a scarf, tie it on your handbag strap or even wear it in your hair as a headband/ponytail. I ordered this navy color. So pretty.

Nordstrom Round Cubic Zirconia Stud Earrings

The detail on these earrings is amazing. I love my real diamond earrings that my husband gave me, but I rarely wear them right now due to running around with two little ones. These are so pretty, and you can think of them as your “kid-friendly” diamonds, (or cubic zirconia) ha! No need to worry about losing a diamond earring on the playground. Feel better? I do.

Cathy’s Concepts Monogram Canvas Tote

This tote would be a great gift idea.

Cathy’s Concepts Monogram Cosmetic Case

This comes in a few other colors. I like the green/navy combination. Another great gift idea.

Living Proof Full Hair Care Trio

Did anyone else lose their volume after having your babies like I did? If you’re looking for fuller, more voluminous hair, try this shampoo & conditioner set, they work. I haven’t tried the dry shampoo, but I bet it will work as well.

Tory Burch Claire Ballerina Flats

Dear Santa, they’ll go with everything. Love, me, in July.

Tory Burch Crossbody Bag

I love this handbag, everything about it.

Have you been shopping the sale? Loving it so far? There’s so much good stuff, at such great prices.

Have a great weekend!

Loving Lately

Posted on July 12, 2017July 12, 2017 by KSSBelle

Happy Wednesday, Friends! I hope you’re having a great week so far. I read online the other day that there are only 10 more Sundays until Fall? Wow. Not going to lie, I’m kind of getting excited. Ha! Today’s actually my husband’s birthday (also the sweet guy behind the camera of this blog), so we’re prepping for his birthday dinner celebration all day! It’s so cute, our oldest gets pretty excited to help with everything when it comes to birthdays, well, everything really. I adore his enthusiasm about life!

In the meantime, I thought I’d round up a few favorites that I’m loving lately for you!

Happy Shopping!

Peplum Top

I cannot say enough great things about this top. It’s incredibly flattering, and it comes in 4 colors. I have the first version (stripe), and I’m thinking about adding the white or the gingham next.

J.Crew Pompom sweatshirt

Pompoms on a sweatshirt? So fun, and easy to throw on with shorts or whatever you’re wearing really. I’m always cold, so this would be perfect to take everywhere during the day.

Ruffle tank

This is so pretty and perfect for a date night. A great layering top for Fall.

J.Crew Tie Neck Dress

I really like this dress, and the tie neck is so flattering. This would be a great dress for date night or church. Added bonus? It’s on sale right now!

Belle Sleeve Tie Front Top

This top is currently on sale (yay!), and it looks like it would be really cute with jeans & shorts. I love the subtle ruffle sleeve detail.

One Shoulder Top

When Summer comes to an end, I’m really going to miss my one shoulder tops. They’re so fun, chic and I love how tailored this one looks.

One Shoulder Top

Bow & scallops? Done & done.

Zella Runaround Compact Shorts

I recently started exercising again, short runs for right now & building up to longer ones. I’m extremely picky about my workout gear & the fit. I love this waistband on these shorts, so these might be the next pair I get.

Ruffled Hem Top

I love this bright pink color, and the material looks super soft. An everyday staple for your closet that can be worn year round. Win, win!

J.Crew Beaded Ball Earrings

These earrings are so pretty, and would go with everything.

BP. Leopard Print Pouch

This is a much more wallet-friendly version of the Clare V. version we all know & love. A year round, date night essential.

J.Crew Stripe Straw Clutch

Such a happy clutch. Need I say more?

Gingham + Pom Poms

Posted on July 10, 2017July 13, 2017 by KSSBelle

This top is such a great staple for Spring & Summer. It goes with everything from my favorite jeans like these, these and & even shorts. I also plan to dress it up with cropped dress pants (black/navy) for a date night out. The royal blue & white gingham is classic, crisp, and definitely reminds me of Summer. I bought these mules months ago, and sadly they’re sold out right now; however these, these and these are also cute options. I’m really loving the mule/slide trend because I’m tall (5’10), and flats are so easy & much more mom-friendly, yet still so chic.

SHOP THE POST:
Gingham Off the Shoulder Top / AG skinny jeans / J.Crew Pom Pom mules (sadly sold out, similar) / Kate Spade New York Handbag (old, similar) / Kate Spade Watch (old, similar)/ Handpicked drop earrings (similar) / Loft Sunglasses (old, similar)

Do you love gingham as much as I do?

Statement Earrings

Posted on July 6, 2017July 6, 2017 by KSSBelle

I can’t believe it has almost been a full week in July. However, I’m really excited that it’s a short work week, and the weekend will be here before we know it. This Summer is seriously flying by for us. How about you?

While I’m a creature of habit, and mostly wear my pearl studs every day. Today, I wanted to share with you some pretty statement earrings that I’m loving lately for Summer (& that you can wear later). Earrings, just like shoes & a great handbag can really brighten up the classics in your closet, especially the timeless white shirt. I always like to add something fun & trendier to my outfits each season. Even if I do tend to invest in classic clothing (that’s just my style), in my opinion, you’ve still gotta have fun with your accessories!

Kate Spade drop earrings

I really like the floral coral & orange pop of color. So chic, yet so simple.

Tory Burch Geo Statement Drop Earrings

I fell in love with the mix of classic & geo design here. Amazing. A bit of a splurge, but you’ll wear these for years.

Honeymoon tassel earrings

I have a pair of longer tassel earrings, and wear them on a lot of date nights (#momlife) & special occasions, but this shorter tassel style is just as pretty, and may be a tad bit more Mom-friendly? Ha! They also come in white. Both colors are on sale right now. I prefer the navy, because you can wear them year round that way.

Beaded tassel chandelier earrings

These are so fun! Black & gold together are classic, and oh so chic!

Beaded Ball Earrings

Love this color. I also like the more tailored beaded look. They come in several colors, but the calm lagoon is my favorite.

Do you love statement earrings? If so, what ones are you loving lately?
